Returning large numbers to Pro*C variable

Hi
Does anyone have ant experience retrieving large integer values from an Oracle Sequence ?
I am trying to retrieve a large number (Number (12)) from an Oracle Sequence into a Pro*C variable defined as "long long int" which is a 8-byte integer. This has been uncessful thus far as only the 4 leading bytes are populated and the trailing 4 bytes left untouched. Is there any other way to handle this except declare the return variable as a char string ?
